February 27, 2013: More Positive Reactions to Early Screening of "Man of Steel"

JoBlo.com claims to have received further word of more positive reactions coming out of an advanced screening of "Man of Steel" shown to Warner Bros. Executives.

Imagine a Nolan story with Snyder effects/action.
It's the best movie of the year.
There's TONS of action with Superman kicking all kinds of ass in his suit.
The cape is CG'd most of the time so it can look awesome.
They have intentionally left out most of the the Super action in trailers to save it.
It's not nearly as dour and serious as the trailers suggest.
The movie is complete, minus the 3D post-conversion, which is currently taking place.

The first point is easy to comprehend. While it's great that the movie is getting such rave reviews from those on the inside at Warner Bros, it's probably a bit premature to be calling it the best movie of the year, but I'll settle for the best Warner Bros. movie of the year.

Glad to hear there's tons of action, as we already know from the trailer that there's also a good quantity of character building and personal drama. News that the cape is mostly computer generated doesn't surprise me. With a cape that long it only makes sense that you'd require more control over its movements. Plus it would free up Cavill's movements during action sequences.

The fact that they've intentionally left out most of the "Super" action from the trailers seen so far is good in my opinion. I hate it when you see a movie and you come out afterwards thinking that you'd already seen all the best parts in the trailer advertisements.
